How to set up a SkyGrid feeder

You'll need a Pi, an SDR, an antenna, and power.

1. Download the .img. The feeder image is not published yet. Enable JavaScript to request an email update.
2. Flash it with Raspberry Pi Imager. Choose Use custom, select the image, and write the microSD card. This erases the card.
3. Boot the Pi: antenna, SDR, then power. Connect it to your network.
4. Then create an account to get your key and feeder ID.

How to tell it is working

After an aircraft position is received, the coverage map normally updates within about two minutes. Cells show received aircraft positions, not feeder locations. An empty cell can also mean no aircraft were heard.

Questions and troubleshooting

Check power, network, SDR, antenna and feeder key if reports do not arrive. The coverage map shows the last 30 minutes.
